Nice pics. Are those fom a sanner?

Wow! Excellent scan! (and St.)!

NO...DIGITAL. It's a bit smaller than individual obv. and rev. but I think it's cool. Here was the OLD format...

ajia

Is this the JPEG2000 format, or what?
If it is, it's not all that 'new'.

The format is .jpeg, so what is this 'new' format?

OR are you talking about a new layout???

boiler78

ajia- JB is referring to the cleaner layout for his images where the slab is cropped out of the background. Maybe to be technically accurate he should have said layout instead of format.

saintguru

Layout instead of format.

ajia

That layout is very nice, but how much work is it to do?

saintguru

I love this LAYOUT...last one for the night! I know I've posted it before, but not like this...

Very, Very, Nice. Please tell me how you got your scanner to do this. It's probably operator error but I can't get my scanner to do pictures clear enough without exceeding the 50kb limit?? Lee

I have a Brother MFC-3420C All-In-One.

saintguru

Lee,

These are digital pics enhanced and laid out using photo software. With digital you can shrink to 50kb and still retain some size and resolution. I have these on my computer where they fill the page. That's nice to look at.

Let's just ballpark it at 10x10+15K...the 08-S, probably around 65K. It's so borderline 66 that it would bring a nice premium. But I think i'll wait a decade.

ADDENDUM. Look at Heritage archives..there was a 08-S ms66 that just went for 75K and frankly this one is nicer. I've seen the other.

JB ,

I have two words for you:


YOU SUCK~~~~

































Marc

saintguru

Thanks for the kind words. And to think I was going to give you one of them! Are you related to my ex-wife?

marcmoish

JB,

I'm dating you're ex wife my friend!


But if I was gonna get one of those St Giddies then ummm we need to talk

terrible layout. it should be a humongous digi-pic of the slab, & a teensie weensie dot about 2 mm in diameter that's the coin. i mean, who cares what the coin looks like, all we really wanna see is the slab insert! THAT'S what matters!!!

OKEE, DORKEE!!

A nice juxtapose....

ibzman350

saintguru.....please tell what photo software you are using.


Herb

saintguru

SOFTWARE...I'll defer that to boiler78...he did them for me with my pics.

So do you all like the pics WITH the labels or no labels? For MY archives the labels help, but if I submit any, I'd have to redo them...or boiler would!

MadMonk

Very, very nice!

jom

<< <i>OKEE, DORKEE!! >>





Actually, I agree with Karl. Lose the label.

Do something like this instead:

Do what Jom said but make the text smaller. Only time I would want to see the label like that is if it was an image for an eBay auction.

With Saints that nice who cares!Beautiful

saintguru

Thanks for the feedback..I'm totally unsure now!!

I do also have full screen pics of obv. and rev. so I do have two different layouts.

I prefer pictures without labels or telling us what the coin is. If you are doing these for the registry, just being in the registry tells us what the coin is. You can get some pretty large pictures of just the coin with the 100k limit.

saintguru

It's not for anything in particular. Certainly I don't have any Ebay coins, and I'm not putting them on the registry for whatever reason. It's just for my archives and I'm obsessing over a minute detail.

marcmoish

I disagree with the ones w/o the PCGS label , I tend to think it leads more credence to the coin and all. Also looks better the plain lettring looks cheesy cheap - JMHO but so it is, and if you're into details the way I think you are you'll hate anything short of your first post which is super.

I disagree. A coin like that stands on it's own, and I think it is a waste of space to include the label.

saintguru

Marc...You ARE the man!! Thanks.

K6AZ...I respect your opinion as well...as my great uncle used to say "It's like separatin' fly-sh*t fom pepper!"

I'll do both!!
